I'm installing a dual LG built in oven. The top oven is 1700 watt and bottom is a 2200 watt. What size should the wire and breaker be.

Barring any other loads inside this unit you can go with #12 and a 20A breaker.

Do you have the installation instructions from LG?
Isn't this in the instructions?

Probably a 12/3 for lights and maybe a control panel. Surely a new oven would tell you. I count 3900 watts at 240VAC
